They should. Absolutely. I think the ideal would be that the EU require Google to open up RCS to be interoperable with other standards like Matrix and Signal. But even barring that, requiring Apple to support RCS would be a massive improvement.

I just don't want to accidentally give Google the power we're trying to take from Apple. That just puts us back at square one.
